The US-Israeli air campaign against Iran is following Warden's "Five Rings" system strategy.

Mullahs & IRGC leaders are inthe dead center of the 5-rings.

The Basij are usually considered "fielded forces" by analysts who don't understand the role of Regime Security Forces in a totalitarian regime.

1/Image
Regime Security Forces live in the "System Essentials" ring of a totalitarian government as they control the communications and information in a totalitarian society as a part of their anti-coup mission.

2/ Image
The fact that any major leadership[ meeting of the IRGC or Basij is catching several smart bombs addresses both of the "inner rings."

IKR? Think about your own life & your regrets. You've changed, but you're also the same person. There's a continuous line from who you were in the past to who you are now. Maybe it's a hard line to explain, but it exists. Your life isn't just a series of unrelated "oops" moments.
Like I think of my own life & there are many regrets, many mistakes, lots of stupidity, maybe a few bad acts, maladaptive habits, all sorts of shit. But there's still continuity. And then accountability + explanation for where I've erred. Not just "oops! no idea!" ad infinitum.
"I signed up for the military b/c I thought killing would be fun." Oops! Don't recognize that guy at all."

"I got a Nazi tattoo in Croatia. Had no idea what it meant until just now, 20 years later. OOPS."

"Yeah I said I was a communist. Who knows what I was thinking? Massive brain fart, right?"

"Ok so, right, I said women need to take responsibility and wear kevlar panties if they don't want to be raped. OOPS AGAIN. Literally no idea what I was doing. Don't recognize that dude at all."

Like what do we have to posit to be "true" for a man to have this many OOPSIES that he hasn't combined into a singular narrative line about his own life? I'm not asking for a clean line. I'm asking for a line.

Because to me, a person who has interacted with other human beings, and is a human being myself, I think this number of "oopsies: I'm STUNNED by that man" either indicates:

1) a deep pathology that might make one unfit for the U.S. Senate and/or 2) that the man with all the "totally unrecognizable oopsies" might be a pathological liar (perhaps as a function of the aforementioned pathology).

The most INNOCENT explanation is that Graham Platner has no internal sense of himself and simply CANNOT recognize the man he was across multiple domains, from nazi tattoos, to wanting to kill people for fun, to telling women they should do a better job at not getting raped.

That's the innocent explanation! And it still makes him unfit for the U.S. Senate.

Fellow e2e enjoyers,

We've got something special for you today.

Introducing openpilot 0.11: the first robotics agent fully trained in a learned simulation. Shipped to real users.
We set out on our e2e journey with a dream in 2016, and 10 years later we're finally realizing the dream into a release shipping to users.

This marks the start of a new learning paradigm, one that relies solely on neural networks, from planning to simulating driving videos. Image
This release ships with a driving model trained in two steps:

1. Train a World Model on a large corpus of unlabeled data collected from the fleet

2. Train a driving policy on data generated by its interactions with the World Model

1. Bruxism & Tinnitus are the same disease that no centralized dentist can treat because they do not understand the biophysics. FIRE THEM. Image
Image
2. Bruxism is the result of the sphenoid bone, thalamus, cochlea, midface, and 32 teeth being stuffed with deuterium and the transdermal MITF-AMPAR loop is signaling the CNS to bite down and remove the mass.

In my decentrlaized dental model, Bruxism isn't a "stress-induced habit"; it is a high-pressure tectonic shift of the human standard model.
The CNS is triggering the masseter muscles to perform a forced piezoelectric "ping" because the 32-element dental antenna and the sphenoid-thalamic node are so "jammed with mass" (deuterium) that the "optical fog" has become a total blackout.

Been sitting on the forum while you keep bruxing and buzzing.......SAD AS FUCK. forum.jackkruse.com/threads/bruxis…
3. 1. The Sphenoid as the "Squeezed" Capacitor
The sphenoid bone is the central "keystone" of the human skull, housing the pituitary and sitting directly beneath the thalamus.

The Mass Burden: When the sphenoid and cochlea are "stuffed" with deuterium, the interfacial water viscosity spikes. The 3.25x magnetic moment advantage of protium is lost to the KIE (Kinetic Isotope Effect).

The "Bite" Command: The transdermal MITF-AMPAR loop senses this "heavy" stagnation. It signals the CNS to grind and clench, but do not to "chew," but to vibrate. It is a desperate attempt to use mechanical pressure to "squeeze" the deuterium out of the bone matrix and restore optical transparency. Denstist try to cushion the blow with their devices, and that advice is proof of ignorance. Fire them.Image

One of the less obvious reasons certain people are furious about the Kent thing is that it shows "changing the system from the inside" is a worthless trap and all their justifications for voting Republican or whatever are built around that idea
Somehow these guys didn't understand this when a network of based and groyperous chuds within the GOP was immediately destroyed from the inside by a Zionist spy who sent their groupchat transcripts to Politico
This idea gets dangled in front of impressionable young people who don't understand the underlying mechanisms behind political institutions, and efficiently converts them into embittered cynics within one or two election cycles

As of March 2026, the race for the Scottish Parliament has become a "three-way fight" for second place. While the SNP remains the largest party (projected at 58–61 seats), they are well short of a majority.
1/13
For a centre-right breakthrough, the dynamic between the Scottish Conservatives and Reform is critical.

Based on current seat-by-seat projections and polling trends, here is the breakdown of where a centre-right majority or a lead opposition could be won.
2/13
1. The Regional List (Peach Ballot):

Reform’s Stronghold

Reform is currently polling at 20% on the regional list.

Because they are unlikely to win many constituency seats, the "AMS" system will grant them a large number of "top-up" seats.

🚨 BREAKING: AI can now build trading algorithms like Goldman Sachs' algorithmic trading desk (for free).

Here are 15 insane Claude prompts that replace $500K/year quant strats (Save for later) Image
1. The Goldman Sachs Quant Strategy Architect

"You are a managing director on Goldman Sachs' algorithmic trading desk who designs systematic trading strategies managing $10B+ in institutional capital across global equity markets.

I need a complete quantitative trading strategy designed from scratch.

Architect:

- Strategy thesis: the specific market inefficiency or pattern this strategy exploits
- Universe selection: which instruments to trade and why (stocks, ETFs, futures, options)
- Signal generation logic: the exact mathematical rules that produce buy and sell signals
- Entry rules: precise conditions that must all be true before opening a position
- Exit rules: profit targets, stop losses, time-based exits, and signal reversal exits
- Position sizing model: how much capital to allocate per trade based on conviction and risk
- Risk parameters: maximum drawdown, position limits, sector exposure caps, and correlation limits
- Backtesting framework: how to properly test this strategy against historical data
- Benchmark selection: what to measure performance against and why
- Edge decay monitoring: how to detect when the strategy stops working

Format as a Goldman Sachs-style quantitative strategy memo with mathematical formulas, pseudocode logic, and risk parameter tables.

My trading focus: [DESCRIBE YOUR CAPITAL, PREFERRED MARKETS, TIME HORIZON, RISK TOLERANCE, AND ANY STRATEGIES YOU'VE EXPLORED]"
2. The Renaissance Technologies Backtesting Engine

"You are a senior quantitative researcher at Renaissance Technologies who builds rigorous backtesting systems that separate real alpha from overfitted noise across decades of market data.

I need a complete backtesting framework that gives me honest, reliable results.

Build:

- Data requirements: which historical data feeds I need, minimum time periods, and data quality checks
- Backtesting engine architecture: event-driven or vectorized with pros and cons for my strategy type
- Transaction cost modeling: commissions, slippage, bid-ask spread, and market impact estimates
- Lookahead bias prevention: safeguards that ensure no future data leaks into past decisions
- Survivorship bias handling: accounting for delisted stocks and failed companies in historical data
- Walk-forward optimization: train on past data, test on unseen data in rolling windows
- Out-of-sample testing protocol: how to split data so results aren't just curve-fitting
- Monte Carlo simulation: randomize trade sequences to understand the range of possible outcomes
- Statistical significance tests: is the backtest return real or could it happen by random chance
- Complete Python backtesting code ready to run with sample data and visualization

Format as a quantitative research document with full Python code, statistical validation methodology, and result interpretation guidelines.

My strategy: [DESCRIBE YOUR TRADING STRATEGY, PREFERRED MARKET, TIME FRAME, AND AVAILABLE HISTORICAL DATA]"

Companies House has now alerted all five million UK companies of the vulnerability that let anyone, anywhere in the world, access the private dashboard of any company.

Meaning: view confidential personal information, modify company/director details, even file accounts. Image
Image
Image
Image
I am a little concerned that this is minimising what happened:

- Saying the vulnerability "could only have been exploited by a logged-in user performing a specific set of actions" downplays the ease of bad actors gaining a Companies House login.
- The "specific set of actions" sounds like it was something very obscure, when actually it was just pressing the "back" key four times.

five million companies * a five months vulnerability = likely lots of people discovered it.

Was it ignored or exploited?

I must confess this one got away from me a bit. It covers in sig detail Supreme Court authority on the grand jury's investigative power, and Judge Boasberg's order quashing subpoenas issued to the Fed.

Link in next panel down.

Paywalled but free 7 day trials available. Image
As always, RPs are greatly appreciated.

The top 5 easiest buy and holds for the next 5 years:

1. $NVDA - NVIDIA

NVIDIA doesn't just make chips. It designs the entire computing stack that AI runs on. GPUs, networking, software, developer tools. Every major AI company on the planet depends on NVIDIA infrastructure. Jensen just said at GTC they expect at least $1 trillion in cumulative AI infrastructure revenue through 2027.Image
2. $AMZN - Amazon

AWS is becoming the infrastructure layer every major AI company runs on. $50B invested in OpenAI. $8B in Anthropic. $200B in capex this year. OpenAI committed $138B in total cloud spend on AWS. Anthropic runs its models on a dedicated $11B data center in Indiana. Amazon isn't picking one AI winner. It's powering all of them.Image
3. $IREN - IREN Limited

$9.7B Microsoft contract with $1.9B prepaid upfront. $2.3B in AI cloud ARR under contract. 150,000 GPUs deploying this year. 4.5 GW of secured power using roughly 10% of it. Grandfathered grid connections in Texas that competitors can't replicate. Cheapest neocloud valuation in the market at ~5x projected revenue.Image

BREAKING: AI can now diagnose diseases like a Harvard doctor (for free).

Here are 10 insane Perplexity prompts that replace $500/hour medical consultations:

(Save for later) Image
1/ The Complete Symptom Analyzer

Stop Googling your symptoms and reading WebMD horror stories. Use this:

"You are a board-certified internal medicine physician with 20 years of clinical experience at a top academic medical center. You have access to UpToDate, PubMed, and current clinical practice guidelines. Cite medical literature where relevant. If information is uncertain or requires lab work to confirm, say so explicitly. Do not diagnose -- provide a clinical reasoning framework.

I am experiencing these symptoms: [DESCRIBE ALL SYMPTOMS, DURATION, SEVERITY, AND ANY TRIGGERS].

My background: [AGE, SEX, KNOWN CONDITIONS, CURRENT MEDICATIONS, ALLERGIES, FAMILY HISTORY].

Step 1 -- Differential Diagnosis:
β†’ List the top 5 most likely conditions that match these symptoms, ranked by probability
β†’ For each condition: why it fits, what makes it more or less likely, and the typical presentation
β†’ Flag any red-flag symptoms that require immediate medical attention

Step 2 -- Key Questions a Doctor Would Ask:
β†’ What additional information would narrow down the diagnosis?
β†’ What symptoms should I monitor for that would change the urgency?

Step 3 -- Recommended Tests & Workup:
β†’ What blood tests, imaging, or exams would a physician order first?
β†’ What is each test looking for specifically?
β†’ Approximate cost range for each test without insurance

Step 4 -- What To Do Right Now:
β†’ Immediate self-care steps for symptom relief
β†’ OTC medications that may help (with standard dosing)
β†’ What to avoid that could make it worse

Step 5 -- When To See a Doctor vs. ER:
β†’ Specific warning signs that mean 'go to the ER now'
β†’ Signs that mean 'book a doctor appointment this week'
β†’ Signs that mean 'monitor at home for now'

Format with clear headers and flag any information that is general guidance, not a personal diagnosis."

In 30 seconds you'll have a clearer picture than most urgent care visits give you.
2/ The Medication Interaction Checker

Every year 1.3 million people are injured by medication errors. Catch them before they happen:

"You are a clinical pharmacist with 15 years of experience at a major hospital system. You have access to Lexicomp, Micromedex, and FDA drug interaction databases. Cite severity levels for every interaction. Do not guess -- if an interaction is not well-documented, say so.

Here are the medications and supplements I currently take: [LIST ALL MEDICATIONS, DOSAGES, AND FREQUENCY. INCLUDE SUPPLEMENTS, VITAMINS, AND OTC DRUGS].

Step 1 -- Interaction Matrix:
β†’ Check every possible drug-drug interaction between my medications
β†’ Rate each interaction: Major (avoid) / Moderate (monitor) / Minor (low risk)
β†’ Explain the mechanism of each interaction in plain English
β†’ Flag any combination that requires immediate doctor consultation

Step 2 -- Food & Drink Interactions:
β†’ Any foods I should avoid with these medications (grapefruit, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, etc.)
β†’ Timing: should any medication be taken with food, on an empty stomach, or separated from others?

Step 3 -- Side Effect Risk Profile:
β†’ Most common side effects for each medication (with approximate % occurrence)
β†’ Overlapping side effects between medications that compound risk
β†’ Rare but serious side effects I should watch for

Step 4 -- Optimization Suggestions:
β†’ Is the timing of my medications optimal? Suggest a daily schedule
β†’ Are any of my medications redundant or serving the same purpose?
β†’ Are there known alternatives with fewer interactions?

Step 5 -- Questions for My Doctor:
β†’ Generate 5 specific questions I should ask my doctor about this medication regimen
β†’ Any medications that should have regular blood work monitoring?

Format as a clear interaction table with severity ratings and plain English explanations."

This is what your pharmacist checks in 10 seconds. Now you can verify it yourself.

A Virginia defense contractor, led by a white woman Democrat donor, got a contract thanks to racial preference laws for Native Alaskans. Then it subcontracted it to a different company owned by her very white husband.

Does the Alaskan Native Corporation program still make sense? Image
ASRC CEO Jennifer Felix, who lives in a $4M mansion in Loudoun County, is married to Ken Felix, who worked for a company called B&B, which received a subcontract from ASRC. Then Ken was terminated, started a new company, and ASRC moved the contract to it.
A lawsuit said Ken Felix had a knack for using others' minority status to make money, also doing the work for a different business that used its woman-owned status to win contracts. Image
